• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Step 1

Drain the sauerkraut thoroughly and place it in a large mixing bowl. If the sauerkraut strands are overly long, chop them into shorter pieces for easier eating.

Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the vegetables in the bowl.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the sauerkraut and vegetables, and toss everything together until well combined.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add a pinch of salt, a dash of vinegar, or a drizzle of honey according to your preference.

Step 8

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or light meal. Enjoy!
